Do you think my original suspicion has something to do with it? (IATs)

In other words, the longer you stay in the top of the RPM range, the hotter the IATs and therefore the decrease in acceleration? Our overall gearing in these cars is very low... So I can't see the ratios playing with the outcome much.
I think so, when these cars are boosting at 19lbs ( top of 3rd / 4th gear with a code 3) the IATs will start to rob HP. I think this plays a roll in the less is more approach I took. When 240M3SRT had his 185 pulley, he would jump me off the start, but I could real him in as the boost hit 22-24lbs in his and IATs grew.
